And that's why I don't think people have a leg to stand on. Prince has been pulling the ol' switcharoo since the Crystal Ball fiasco. There are people that never got their money back from that.


But let's not forget that other people had contacted Lotusflow3r support and received a response promising 2 updates by the end of June. So it's more than a matter of not getting what we thought we were getting. We're being lied to even after we've signed up.

And yes, when you pay for anything with a credit card, you do run a risk of not getting what you thought you were getting. That's why credit card companies have a dispute process for when you feel you've been ripped off.

But weren't there updates? Didn't there used to be 48 thumbnails instead of 50?

You know, if I could even watch the videos in good quality, I think I would not be bitching so much.

Well, the email promised two new VIDEOS by the end of June, and it was sent from the support team AFTER the last update when the Undertaker was added. So, clearly they are bullshitting us. I don't have the e-mail, but it was posted in another thread in this forum.

hmmmm. could have been worse. could have spent seventy five pounds on a presentation box of radiohead's In Rainbows with a mere second disc of studio outtakes. i only learnt this fact from my friend last week, having completely lost interest in radiohead not long after that one after Kid A.

I'm sure the fuss made by the Radiohead camp over the removal of Prince's Coachella Creep cover from Youtube is not in the least bit related to this discussion. And why on Earth Prince would want to cover what is highly regarded as the song most people might want to commit suicide to is anyone's guess.

Still, having paid my $77, i was able to log in to LoutWolf3rs.com, crank my stereo and dial up said video immediately upon hearing of the death of Michael Jackson.

I had never heard this. Was there a poll taken? I think Sid Vicious' take on Sinatra's My Way would be a better choice for a pre-planned dirt nap.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

you know i knew that poll was never confirmed or indeed existed as i typed those words. Also, back in 97-98 it took from October to May for Crystal Ball to appear. Here's to local industry, yeAh? I've just worked out why u can't listen to Bria til u unpress the mouse...

Seriously there are a few other more "suicide-inducing" songs out there.

"All By Myself"
"I Can't Live (If Living Is Without You)"

even "I Just Want Something I Can Never Have"

For some people, $77 is a full day's work. For others, it's only 1 or 2 hours of work.

Show some respect - some people ARE that poor but this might've been their one gift to themselves all year.

For the record, no one is really "crying over the $77". People who joined realized how much that amount of money was, for better or worse. What the complaint is about is lack of content FOR that $77.

I still have faith that there will be more to come from the site. If there isn't I just won't do it again next year. You can't live your life crying over spilled milk. It wouldn't be the first time I didn't get my money's worth on mouch more expensive ventures that this. It's not like you can get the money back. folks need to move on. confused

Exactly. There are 8 months left and I agree, if there's nothing more then just don't renew.

I think romeo must have money coming out of their behind and no children that need to be fed and clothed.
